Some cyclists ride their bicycles on the wrong side of the road, the opposite direction of car traffic. Suppose that 8.5 % of cyclist ride on the wrong side of the road. Given that a serious accident involving a cyclist occurred, in 40 % of these accidents the cyclist was riding on the wrong side of the road. 6.7 % of cyclists have serious accidents. What is the probability that a cyclist will ever have a serious accident, given that they ride on the wrong side of the road?
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
